Re: New annoying popup

It’s extremely annoying, there is no reject all (that I could find) I went to reject individually, but gave up after 5 wasted minutes, there are a multitude of companies to reject.

Is this a permanent feature of the site Dominic?

Re: Cats dying of covid

Apparently the issue is now Islandwide, including Israel and Turkey, very concerning.

The strays we feed are restricted to one area, my concern is for my two precious domesticated cats

Cats dying of covid

Report in the Daily Mail suggests 300,000 cats in Cyprus have died of feline covid, I personally am aware of 2 who were bloated and had to be put to sleep.

I also feed stray cats which have depleted in numbers by half, has anyone else noticed this?

Re: PV question

I must confess, the system was purchased for economic reasons and I was not aware that the EAC could not cope with excess production…….so that being said, I will up my usage to the limit of my production.

I was careful about overusing A/C, not any more.

PV question

It is now a year that my 4kw system went live. In that time the system generated 6.63 MW, 4.94 MW went through the meter, and 2.7MW into the grid…..so I have over 2MW that is unused. My question is, should I be using more electricity? Am I storing too much? I use A/c for heating and cooling, have a ...

Wow, didn’t expect that in Ayia Napa.

Your comment was correct Dominic, what a boost to Paphos if we had a similar facility

Re: PV Net Metering RES Grant

I agree with Pete. My system was installed efficiently and promptly, but the admin side was chaotic to say the least, it took months for my application for the grant to be processed, despite repeated prompting from me, ( the staff who deal with the application were sympathetic, but clearly overworke...

Re: Wills in Cyprus

Wife and I made mirror wills with a local Lawyer, we are permanent residents. Once written we insisted it was lodged at the courthouse, ( cost very little) the Solicitor was not happy, as she is not guaranteed future possible exorbitant fees, but had to comply with our wishes. When the inevitable ha...

Re: Kissonerga and Chloraka

Thanks again Dominic

I have noticed that few people comment on these blogs, however that is a reflection of our appreciation and not lack of interest, we are looking!

We all await your next blog.

Many thanks

Re: The Queen’s state funeral.

I question the wisdom of having a lavish state funeral, paid for by the tax payer, at a time when so many people are having difficulties making ends meet. I would have thought a simpler affair would be more in tune with today's UK. I feel that though the funeral will cost a great deal, the net cost...

Re: Photovoltaic systems in Cyprus become extremely popular, keep EAC on its toes

Without wishing to be a photovoltaic bore, I attach some August data For august I produced 707.4 Kw of electricity through the panels. Over 100 units less than last month, but shorter days and by and large much cloudier in August. Of the units produced, 439 Kw went through the EAC meter, caused by h...

You were correct Trev, the environmental figures stated were since the last week of June when the ap went live.

Re: Photovoltaic systems in Cyprus become extremely popular, keep EAC on its toes

Hi Max

They were Jinko JKM410M-72H

I would add that the 821kw was measured by the Solar edge ap.

We had the A/c (new LG 24 also fitted by Greenair) on literally all day, so of the 823Kw produced in July, 460Kw went back to the grid.

Re: Photovoltaic systems in Cyprus become extremely popular, keep EAC on its toes

Sincere apologies.

I was connected early June, not July, the Greenair installation produced 821 Kw in July, and my total production since early June is well in excess of 1Mw. The cloudy days so far in August, plus slightly shorter days, has reduced production by circa 3.5 Kw per day
